    "content": " Not at all, Hon. Speaker. This is a matter that has been here several times since 2022. We are dealing with persons affected, and who were awarded letters in 2013. The answer has always been the same in general. I attached a list of specific persons. I can read them because they complied with the kind of disputes and subdivisions that the Chairman referred to, and were 100 per cent compliant. The nine persons affected by this compensation issue are: Mr Abdala Mwakunena, Mr Salim Mwamisi Bongo, Ms Halima Omar Higa, Mr Said Nasoro Mwakubabwa, Ms Fatuma Ali Mwakunena, Mr Massoud Mohamed Mwatsonowe and Mr Salim Kazungu Ndundi. The money they are supposed to be paid is not the one the Chairman is referring to. This money is already with the National Land Commission (NLC) and probably, the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure is not aware; that even after they disbursed the money to NLC, the Commission does not pay the persons affected on time for reasons known to them. My request on this matter is not about the supplementary tool that the Chairman is referring to. The money is already there and they have disbursed it but NLC is not willing for reasons known to them to compensate these people. I would then request your indulgence to see how the Committee on Transport and Infrastructure and the Committee on Lands can compel NLC to pay these people who are 100 per cent compliant. I am not satisfied at all with the answer that he has given because it is not the reality on the ground. Thank you."
